Fall Wedding Trends Are Amazing!

Fall Wedding Trends Are Amazing!

getting married in the autumn

Fall is a truly spectacular season.

Spring is amazing for its energy and youthfulness. Summer is awesome for its sunny days and its carefree vibes. Winter is magical for its holidays.

But nothing can beat the awe-inspiring colors of fall in New Mexico. Warm and bewitching at the same time, this season is perfect for couples who like balanced temperatures, produce generosity, and the little touch of nostalgia only fall could bring with it.

·       Steal inspiration from the seasonal holidays. Thanksgiving and Halloween are two of the biggest holidays – so why not steal inspiration from them? For instance, if you are planning a wedding near Thanksgiving, you could create a wedding menu inspired by the classic turkey dinner. Also, if you plan on having your wedding near Halloween, you could borrow from sweet treats and motifs the holiday (and yes, you can do this in a balanced way, without making your wedding feel like one big spooky party).

·       Vibrant colors are everywhere. Of course, yellow, orange, and burgundy remain the quintessential fall colors. But if you want to plan something a bit more unique, why not settle on a gemstone-inspired color scheme? Colors like ruby, sapphire, and emerald add a touch of class and luxuriousness to any kind of event, so make the most out of this trend and plan a fall wedding that’s utterly elegant!

·       Bring the sweetness of fall into your wedding treats. Not sure how to create a fall wedding cake that’s not tacky in any way? Three words for you, then: mini squash pumpkins. They’re adorable, and they will look fantastic when used as décor for a simple white wedding cake. You can’t go wrong with this! And if you want to bring even more fall flavor into your Big Day, consider offering edible wedding favors based on the season’s best: jams made from seasonal fruit, homemade ciders, slices of pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice cookies, and so on.
